THE STAR LIVERY STABLES.

The Star Livery Stables OF Mr..
B. f. Pickett, is one OF the land
marks of Scranton, and il is a
noticeable fact they are now being
fitted up. cleaned, whitewashed and
otherwise put in order as though
no financial depression had ever
been felt in our community.
Through all the financial viciSsi.
tudcs of the past seventeen years
the Star Livery Stables have never
varied in price, except in cOnfOrmi'
~ with surrounding circumstances,
aud these prices have always been
uniform without respect to persons.
Good horses, nice comfortable bug
eies, neat and clean offices, warmed
by stove in winter, prompt atten.
ton night aud day, characterize the
Star Livery Stables. MIR. Pickett
has now, in connection with his
stables nice glass enclosed hearse,
as nice as can be had in amy country
town, which he has fitted up SO that
our people may enjoy the luxury OF
decent burial. With these ref"c-
tlons it must be seen that this insti-
tuition Is II public benefit, and de-
serves the support of the citizens.

An OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES"
New York w orld


Mr. Edward K. Collins, the enterprising mer-
chant of New York. who afterwards establish
ed the famous line of ocean steamers bearing his
name, was sitting at his desk in South street
one bright, beautiful day in early June, in 1910,
when three well-known politicians and merchants
entered his Office.
1--WE have called, Mr.. Collins" said the self
constituted committee, Tin regard to your adver-
tisements in the Herald. You are aware, Mr..
Collins
Yes, yes" replied Mr. Collins, in his quick.
decided tone. Eyes, yes, understand: Charles y
calling to clerk in another room, chow many
advertisements have we in the Herald this
morning?"
''Three sir" answered the polite Charles
''Three-yes, yes. Well, Charles, put in
three more tomorrow morning" Then turning
to the committee, he said THAT is my answer.
gentlemen. Good morning"
This same committee called upon Mr.. John I.
Boyd, old and much respected merchant. a
quiet gentleman who minded his own business,
and never meddled with the affairs of his neigh
bors. After explaining to Mr. Boyd the bad
character of the Herald, paper which he had
read from IFS first number, they asked him to
withdraw his advertisements. Mr.. Boyd
patiently heard them through, and said: "Gen-
tlemen. when l find cannot attend to my own
business shall send for you to aid me- They

He is just much of hero as Jack the Giant
Killer to the children of England. Every book
and toy shop has Buffalo Bill books and pict-
ures in everv form and device TO appeal to
childish imagination. In Paris, the other day,
in the window of one of the leading millinery
shops. saw gray felt hat for lady bearing
the name LA chareau Buffalo Bill Various
managers have sought to exploit this extraor-
binary notoriety. The offer of million OF
dollars. which mentioned at the outse. of this
letter. came from q very wealthy English firm
of spectators. Another manager has sought
to make a future contract with Cody to deliver
ga series of lectures upon frontier life after he
has finished with the show business. Some of
Cody's friends IN Nebraska have written to him
TO throw up the show business and come home.
now that he has made so much money, and that
they will send him TO Congress.
From May until Nov. 1 the Wild West gave
two performances each day, and Buffalo Bill
never missed one of the performances
time. This has contributed o'n much to
his popularity with the English public.
He does not drink drop of liquor wine while
he is out with his show. BY his pursuing this
force discipline and temperance among his cow
boys Some of the papers have accused
him him OF treating s.,.l his cowboy employees
become such London lion. Cody has
never been familiar with his men. He has al
ways carried himself among them officer
would towards soldiers under his command.
He has never associated with any of them init
mately. He has treated them all fairly, but
with great nrmneSS.
The scene at the close of the Wild West was
enthusiastic. Cody's speech received with
applause at the end of every sentence. He has
very powerful voice and every word he uttered
heard throughout the great ampitheater
This speech, model of brevty. as follows:
Ladies' and gentlemen, you ask me to make
a speech. No eloqnence of mere words can
translate the emotion feel in saying goodbye
to London tonight. The stav of the Wild West
in London has been attended by so much genu-
inc hospitality and liberal patronage that will
make il a red-letter epoch in the history of the
worlds amusements. And the particularly
gratifying part of it is that, being actuated by
genuine patriotic motives IN transplanting bit
of American frontier history into the heart of
this mighty metropolis. we have been met on
every hand by such genuine hospitality and cor
dial acceptance that will take US back to
Western homes beyond the with hearts full
of kindness towards the English public. Per-
sonally dare not express myself. 1 have been
overwhelmed with kindness. hospitality and
friendship every hand. Ladies and gentle
men of England, owe you more of love and
duty than can ever repay, and while my life
shall last the memory of this parting will
remain in nv heart. In conclusion 1 have but
sentiment to express 1 wish You long
life and prosperity. Good bye, and God bless
You all

Gradually the managers of great trunk
lines, at least, are reaching the conclusion that
the rapid increase in the weight of rolling
stock calls for heavier rails. Vice-president
Thomson. of the Pennsylvania railroad after
examining English track superstructure, ex-
presses the opinion that. while the
track superstructure of the American rail
road is heavy enough for perfect safety, it
is too light for economical maintenance, and
that in the weight of rails and fastenin9s
have hardly kept pace with the increased weight
of locomotives and cars"

A Prospective Rate war

CHICAGO Nov. 14-Receiver McNulta, of the
Wabash railway. gave notice to-day of the with
drawal of his line from the Chicago and St.
Louis passenger agreement He based the
action upon the failure of the Chicago & Alton
to maintain the contract, by refusing to retu IN
the revenue derived from the transportation of
a theatrical troupe at a cut rate. The notice of
withdrawal added that, while the Wabash woul
not cut the present established fares, it would
hold itself free to meet any reduction which
might be made at any point by the Alton The
general opinion is that the trouble will drift
into rate war between the Chicago and St.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
Earnings sun, the Rule.


The Financial Chronicle, in its last issue.
shows that the earnings of the roads of the
country continue large beyond precedent For
the month of October I02 roads make returns
aggreeating $33 s19 $685. against $50, 321, 322 for
the corresponding month of last year, IN
crease of So 558, $50. or nearly II per cent, the
increase in mileage having been per cent For
the ten months ending Cst 81 ninety eight roads
report aggregate gross earnings of $271.071, 100,
against S242. 349, 166 for the corresponding Pc
Rod of last year, increase of 1874. 721. 994 or
over IA per cent. Only road, and that
small one, shows smaller earnings than in 1886.
In 1887 the October gross earnings per mile of
102 roads $537. against 1903 in 1856, and as
compared with $51l IN 1855 sixty-two roads.
in the returns for the ten months the Southern
roads are prominent in showing large gains.
though the Southwestern roads tho coal car
fiers and the trunk lines are all far ahead OF
last year. Allowing operating expenses at 90
per cent. the net earnings of the niuety-elght
roads for the ten months would be about S9I,-
100000, or equal to nearly $4,000 600 for the
year. The total mileage of the ninety-elght
zoads is about 10000 miles, and the average
funded debt q bout $3l 900 per mile, MAKING an
approximate aggregate of, say, 81, $50, 000 OOU.
on which the Sill. 000. 600 of net earnings would
De equal to about g per cent
Percentage of Travel Low Rates Small.
Vice-president Daniels of the passenger de-
partment of the Central Traffic Association,
publishes a statement which will be rather
surprise, it showing that but a very small per
cent of the passengers carried on the roads in
this association carried at low rates. It
that the smallest percentage of any of the
twenty roads in the association, in mileage tick
ct business. amounted to only per cent of the
total passenger earnings, and that the excursion
business INCLUDING local excursions. Niagara
Falls excursions, business the certificate
plan. tourists tickets, etc. amounted to only
per cent. The highest of the twenty roads was
per cent for mileage-tcket business and 46
per cent. for excursion business, the average Of
the twenty roads being 81 per cent. for the total
passenger revenue for mileage tickets and 134
per cent. for excursion business. The line show
ing the largest percentage in both cases is
that does com paratinely little through business,
snd is situated to do unusually large
excursion business in proportion to its entire
passenger traffic.
